We consider a class of non-supersymmetric gauge theories obtained by orbifolding the N=4 super-Yang-Mills theories. We focus on the resulting quiver theories in their deconstructed phase, both at small and large coupling, where a fifth…

We build a matrix model of a chiral [SU(N)]^K gauge theory (5D SQCD deconstructed down to 4D) using random unitary matrices to model chiral bifundamental fields (N,N-bar) (without (N-bar,N)). We verify the duality by matching the loop…
